An astonishing achievement once again earned by an athlete from Universitas Dian Nuswantoro (Udinus). This particular accomplishment was earned by Ahmad Hafid at the 2024 ASEAN University Games (AUG) in the wall climbing sports branch, specifically the Lead Climbing category. In that category, Hafid managed to achieve a silver medal on Thursday, July 4th, 2024.

Roughly 4000 athletes from 11 different countries competed at the 2024 AUG, featuring numerous sports branches. Ahmad Hafid, a Management student at Udinus, was among five athletes representing Indonesia in this sports branch, competing against the world’s finest athletes.

Ahmad Hafid expressed his thankfulness for the groundbreaking accomplishment he earned by claiming victories over other talented international athletes. “I feel the deepest form of joy from this silver medal, as my dedication and effort came to fruition at last,” he uttered.

Dr. Rindra Yusianto, M.T., the Head of the Student Affairs Bureau, expressed his inner pride for the amazing feat Hafid had earned. According to him, non-academic accomplishment can essentially bring a good image to the alma mater. “We always support our students to keep pushing forward regardless of their expertise, including sports,” he added.

Ahmad Hafid and his fellow athletes from Udinus, namely, Dinda Putri Lestari (Taekwondo athlete), Hera Irnandha (Karate athlete), Muhammad Albagir (Futsal athlete), and Evi Yuliana (Chess player), were able to lead Indonesia to the path of pride at that prestigious sports event.

Support from various parties, including the campus, served as a big motivation for Ahmad Hafid to earn international accomplishments.
